Vehicle VIN codes can generally be seen at the lower position of the front windshield on the driver's side. They can also be found on the car's trunk or engine frame. The vehicle VIN code is essentially the chassis number. The functions of the chassis number: Confirming vehicle identity: Especially under special circumstances, the chassis number can accurately identify your vehicle, saving time. Due to the uniqueness of the chassis number, it can better confirm the vehicle. Traffic violation queries: Vehicle owners need to input the chassis number to check for violations. Precise parts lookup: If vehicle owners are unsure about part numbers, they can search by inputting the chassis number. Many after-sales personnel operate this way. Composition of the chassis number: The chassis number is a 17-character serial code, consisting of uppercase English letters and numbers. These 17 characters can be divided into three parts: the first part is WMI—World Manufacturer Identifier (positions 1–3); the second part is VDS—Vehicle Descriptor Section (positions 4–9); and the third part is VIS—Vehicle Indicator Section (positions 10–17).

How to Perform the First Maintenance for a New Car?

The first maintenance for a new car is typically due at around 3,000 kilometers or three months, whichever comes first. Some brands may require the first service at six months or 5,000 kilometers, also whichever comes first. Below is an introduction to the first maintenance for a new car: 1. The primary tasks of the first maintenance include changing the engine oil and replacing the oil filter. After a month or 3,000 kilometers of driving, the engine oil will inevitably contain some residue. Replacing it with fresh oil will help the vehicle achieve optimal performance. 2. The first maintenance involves multiple inspection items, such as checking the vehicle's lights, tires, chassis, various fluid levels in the engine compartment, and the onboard computer system. The most crucial step is replacing the engine oil and oil filter, which is the most valuable part of the first maintenance. Normally, the first maintenance includes a comprehensive check and diagnosis of the vehicle's condition and usage. Typically, the first maintenance is free of charge. If the technician suggests additional services not included in the first maintenance, the owner should inquire whether these services are chargeable before deciding whether to proceed. 3. Before the first maintenance, it is advisable to make an appointment with the 4S store in advance to avoid delays. Essential items such as the maintenance manual and vehicle registration should be brought along. Other required documents should be clarified during the appointment.

How to Activate the Pre-Collision Function in Geely Boyue?

Here are the activation steps: 1. Start the vehicle and power it on. 2. Locate the button on the left side of the steering wheel and press the left directional button once. 3. In the instrument panel settings, find PCS (Pre-Collision System) and confirm. 4. Press and hold the central OK button to enter PCS sensitivity adjustment, where you can choose from 3 levels, then click OK to confirm. The pre-collision system can detect obstacles ahead and calculate the likelihood of a collision. If it determines a high probability of collision, it will sound an alarm. When the system judges that a collision is unavoidable, it will pre-tighten the front seat belts and activate braking to minimize collision damage. The concept of the PCS pre-collision system is to prevent problems before they occur, making full use of the time before a collision to avoid it as much as possible. Once a collision is inevitable, it will take protective measures in advance to maximize driver safety.

What does quattro mean?

Quattro, meaning permanent four-wheel drive, is a registered trademark of Audi's four-wheel-drive technology under the Volkswagen Group. Here is an introduction to Quattro: 1. Quattro stands for a full-time four-wheel-drive system, which maintains a four-wheel-drive state under all conditions. During turns, the Torsen differential allows a certain speed difference between the front and rear axles, avoiding the interference phenomenon common in traditional four-wheel-drive systems. The core of Quattro's full-time four-wheel drive is the Torsen central differential, which adjusts the power distribution between the front and rear axles faster than any electronic control technology. 2. How Quattro works: When external conditions cause speed differences between the front and rear axles, the Torsen differential automatically and efficiently transfers most of the power to the axle with better traction, optimizing and distributing power to all four wheels. Due to the balanced distribution of axle load, drivers can achieve better steering precision and flexibility without the need for torque steering assistance. 3. Four brakes ensure braking effectiveness, while four driven wheels provide acceleration and higher cornering stability. Audi's Quattro full-time four-wheel drive is a systematic application of these fundamental physical principles. 4. Quattro technology continuously distributes driving force between the front and rear axles based on driving conditions and road surfaces, especially on slippery roads, ensuring superior traction and safe driving even when two driven wheels lose grip.
